the tablet war is heating up

[JoeGKushner]

I personally think this lawsuit shows that Apple is Scared of Samsung and they believe that the Samsung tablets will actually compete well against the iDevice. After all, how long has Samsung been making devices with a similar aesthetic? Two years?

The lawsuit coming now right before Galaxy 10.1 is release screams desperation rather then IP protection.

The wisdom of suing your hardware provider should be interesting to see to say the least.

On a different but similar topic I picked up Notes Plus today and used it in two meetings. I like what I've seen so far. We'll see how it goes when I get a stylus. With any luck I'll be able to scrap paper notebooks at work.

Just saw this video:

Lots of similar features to Notes Plus. It does respond a bit faster with rendering which is nice, not that NP is bad at it. I'm not sure I like the way it does carriage returns where it doesn't go to the start of the next line when "drawing" text. It also doesn't have any of the shape rendering or text moving features (that I can see) of NP. The app is a bit more slick overall, which I do like.

It would be great to see all the best features of both jammed in to one app.

Thanks for the heads-up!

no one says you can't have both.

Is there an app that has both right now?

Cuz I get that features are added and apps tweaked all the time.

Thanks for the heads up. Somehow I missed that on my twitter feed! This is the app I am leaning towards, though I may hold out until it has Dropbox integration.

I imagine it's coming at some point as they already have google docs and email as ways to get yourself the files. $2 is excellent!

Yeah, the dev has it listed as one of the upcoming features, along with Evernote syncing as well.

Google Docs as a way to get files though? That might suffice for me while I wait for the Dropbox feature.
